In the holiday spirit of Thanksgiving...
And in typical Can't Resist Taking A Jab Form... Ala criticizing the President for wearing a tan suit, or The First Lady's vegetable garden, Elizabeth Lauten, the communications director for Rep. Stephen Fincher (R-Tenn.), took to Gawker with this rant directed at The First Daughters.....
--Below the Cheeto--
"Dear Sasha and Malia, I get you’re both in those awful teen years, but you’re a part of the First Family, try showing a little class. At least respect the part you play. Then again your mother and father don’t respect their positions very much, or the nation for that matter, so I’m guessing you’re coming up a little short in the ‘good role model’ department. Nevertheless, stretch yourself. Rise to the occasion. Act like being in the White House matters to you. Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar. And certainly don’t make faces during televised public events."
Facing social media backlash, Lauten prayed, and issued an apology on Facebook.
"I reacted to an article and quickly judged the two young ladies in a way that I would never have wanted to be judged myself as a teenager," she said. "After many hours of prayer, talking to my parents and re-reading my words online, I can see more clearly how hurtful my words were. Please know that these judgmental feelings truly have no pace in my heart. Furthermore, I'd like to apologize to all of those who I have hurt and offended with my words, and pledge to learn and grow (and I assure you I have) from this experience."
One wonders if her boss sent her a fruit basket.
